\"URC-LOGO-blue\"<\/a>We are delighted to present the refreshed URC logo to you. It will be in use from today \u2013 1 June \u2013 on all new URC materials.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the past six months, the URC’s design team has been working to make the denomination’s visual identity more positive, striking and adaptable.<\/p>\n

The previous logo was composed of 14 different elements and the typography was similarly intricate. The brief was to take the essence of the existing logo and to simplify it.<\/p>\n

Lead designer Chris Andrews said: ‘There was a real need to take the logo, pare it back, make it simpler and more functional.<\/p>\n

‘We now have something much more contemporary. We’re using a brighter, sharper colour than before, and the rough, loose edges of the cross give a new feeling of energy. We wanted to reflect a church that is vibrant and dynamic.\u2019<\/p>\n

The refreshed design works equally well on online and print media. It is flexible enough to be used on solid objects and to be etched onto glass.<\/p>\n

Sara Foyle, the URC’s senior graphic designer and the project leader, said: ‘I am very pleased with the result. The final product looks very simple, but getting that quality of finish took a lot of careful work. I look forward to seeing it used throughout the Church.’<\/p>\n

The Revd John Proctor, URC General Secretary, said: ‘I am delighted with this logo. Our refreshed logo better communicates what we stand for today. The rich symbols of the cross and fish have a new clarity and energy that reflects our call to renewed focus on the fundamentals of our faith.’\"URC<\/a><\/p>\n
